Very easy song. I'll try and describe the intro & verse strumming pattern.

e-0<----0-0-|-0<----0-0-|-0<----0-0-|-0<----0-0-|
B-0>----0-0-|-0>----0-0-|-3>----3-3-|-2>----2-2-|
G-1<----1-1-|-2<----2-2-|-2<----2-2-|-2<----2-2-|
D-2>----2-2-|-2>----2-2-|-0>----0-0-|-2>----2-2-|
A-2<----2-2-|-2<----2-2-|-----------|-0<----0-0-|
E-0>----0-0-|-0>----0-0-|-----------|-----------|
(Raked)

The strumming matches the vocals. If its 4/4 timing, the rake lasts for three, and 
the other two last for one. Hope you understand that.
Strumming is just normal for the chorus

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down 
             E        Esus4            Dsus2                      A
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, 
    E Esus4 Dsus2 A
yeah 

E                  Esus4           Dsus2           A
No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change, 
        E          Esus4       Dsus2      A
but I'm here in my mold , I am here in my mold
        E                   Esus4       Dsus2          A 
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
        E             Esus4    Dsus2    A
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no

Well, I've never prayed, 
But tonight I'm on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah 
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind , I feel free now 
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change, 
but I'm here in my mold , I am here with my mold 
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next 
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life 
Trying to make ends meet, trying to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah 

You know I can't change, I can't change, I can't change, 
but I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next 
I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no
I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no
I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no
